Hi there, I've got four goldfish, varying between 1 and 2 inches long, and one corydora who is about an inch long, and I've been wondering about how much to actually feed them. Generally, a food label advises you to feed more to your animals so that you will buy more more often. I feed them...

Help! My red crab attacked my bubble eye fancy goldfish on her tail and damaged her. What should I do? Should I get rid of the red crab?!!

Hello, I'm a beginner, and I currently have a one gallon tank with two goldfish, and am investing in a 35 gallon hexagon tank since this will be much more healthy for them. I do plan to get a couple more goldfish for the new tank. What do I need to know about starting this new tank? What should...

This is alot of good information, thankyou! And I've got some good news. I've found a 55-gallon aquarium with a solid oak stand, and it's going to cost me only $250. I'm very excited about getting it. I've been reorganizing my house in order to make room for it. I went by Walmart today and...

Wow, I'm glad you weren't like some who responded and said, you know absolutely NOTHING. At the moment, can't afford a larger tank. i did clean out the tank today, and was quite shocked at all the nastiness under the gravel. You woulnd't have been able to tell how dirty it was until you actually...

They're in a one gallon tank which has an air stone as well as filter. No heater, but does have a light which I keep on for about half of the day time. They're fed twice daily. Just did a water change, hoping this helps, w/ roomtemp purified water. Can't tell you the water stats, as I don't have...

I've had a Pearlscale goldfish for about a month now. He was petstore bought, and he looked rather healthy. Now I fear that something's wrong with him. He's been acting strange this morning, lying on his back against the aquarium sides, and lying upside down on the gravel. He is still breathing...
